Mercedes Ocean Drive Concept.

Your taste is not vulgar ...mine, however, is.

I want my Mercs to be covered with Swarovski crystals and swathed in zebra-striped printed leather.

LOL come now Rob. I know you've got to be kidding.

You know I'm just trying to get one of your insightful breakdowns/interpretations about why you feel the OCD is pimped and the Rollers not.

^^ I'm not really in the mood for an argument Mohammed ...it was a passing comment -- said without any real great thought behind it.

^^I am sorry for being so rude to you yesterday Mahammed ...quite unnecessary of me to talk to you like that.

Of course I was joking about the crystals and zebra print.

Well, I do think the ODC is more "blingy" than the Rolls ...but that is because this is a Concept.

I don't want to go too deep into this because it will bore everyone to death ...but I feel this car design is very theatrical ...quite self-consciously so.

This car "feels" like it comes straight out of a William Gibson 'Cyberpunk' novel.

It is quite a classical style though ....it would fit with the set design in the famous 1924 Fritz Lang film 'Metropolis'. It also has a cool feel about it ...but sort of retro-deco ....but with the electric feeling of a customized classic car like the one below:









Thierry Mugler:


Miami's contemporary architecture is high-tech modern but with a tropical sexyness about it ...and an electric feel to it. The ODC would fit right in with this style.

Re: Mercedes hopes to take on Rolls-Royce Drophead with Ocean Drive

Sorry about the poor quality of these pictures.

Dejavu, but thanks anyway.

^ Oh sorry, I didn't realize they'd been done before :bonk:

Tutto OK!

This vehicle needs to happen for the 2010 FL of the S-Class.

Scratch that - It needs to precede the 2010 FL by about six months. I think MB is on track to deliver... Afterall, the Ocean Drive will essentially be a facelifted S-Klasse with some custom bodywork and a drop-top.

Well either or, long as it happens during the W221's production cycle, I don't want to wait until 2012-13 for it.

Guys, I wouldn`t even bother comparing the S-Class with the Ocean Drive.
The styling of these cars are quit different. An Ocean Drive like face/lift just wouldn`t cut it on the S-Class imo.

When the time of the f/l comes for the S, I don`t believe MB will change the shape of the headlights. Thay fit the body too well.






I would like to see the next generation S mimic the OD is some manner.

The body language of the S-Class is very formal and excutive, lavished with
luxury. The Ocean Drive is more romantic, much less formal than the S-Class!

Makes me think of this song



Higher quality sound.

^^Fits perfect to the car! Great...

LOL ....I was joking

If only those tail light were being put on the e-class or facelifted s-class

Nice pictures man, this is the first time I notice that it has LED fog lights.

Wow - you're right! I've never noticed that before, too!!

that car is just lovely..
